Question: Portfolios
I've never really been happy with my print portfolio. I love my prints, but I've never figured out the best way to show them off to clients, gallery directors, etc. As of right now, I have the prints in sleeves in a zipper-bound notebook. Lightweight, portable, the prints are protected, but the plastic sleeves don't really show off the crispness of the images or the quality of the prints. I want to protect the prints themselves and guard them as best I can from smudges, stains, and scratches--in essence, I don't want them to look "tired". I also want to be able to present a good number at once (at least 20), and it needs to be portable; not too heavy, not too delicate. This seems to be a perennial question with me. So, any ideas?

Hello Samantha,
You may perhaps try with lamination pouch (you put your picture between two transparency plastic film and then use thermal coater), such equipment or service should be found in library, i think... I use such process to make communication plates that have to be well protected from public, dust, and so on... Sorry for my poor english, I'm French... and find your work particularly nice (I really like B&W pictures)
¡Gracias! ¡Tengo deseé siempre ir a España! No estoy seguro cómo pronto puedo visitar... cualquier ocasión que usted podría viajar a San Francisco?
Sven--Thanks! You're English is quite good. I'll investigate that option.
Hi Sam,
For some of my pictures I use Innova OPUS Digital Presentation Album Kit (can be found at inkjetmall.com). You might have a look
Pros :
- Nothing to alter picture
- High Quality Paper (not Hahnemühle but close)
- Can show up to 40 pictures (if used double-sided)
- Light weight
- Not too expensive
Cons :
- Small size (8x11)
- Some work needed on printer profile and settings to achieve best quality
- Light protection
